I have a simple vbs script that popups a message
Msgbox("Here")
I can run it using cscript
cscript hello.vbs
and it works fine. But if I try to run it using wscript, I get an error saying "Access is denied". How can I get it to run with wscript?
thanks
Cscript.exe is a command-line version of the Windows Script Host.
By Design "Windows Script Host supports scripts written in VBScript or JScript.".
It can run hello.vbs because this file is a VB Script.
And again by design, I cannot run a WScript which is a windows Shell script.
WScript by itself can be executed and does not need other programs to run it.

Hey in Jenkins I'm trying to run robot framework tests:
with command python3 robot -d results mytestsuite.robot, and it has some line to open chrome browser, but the message in log shows me typical: WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see...
Everything works ok locally, and I'm not sure which PATH jenkins wants to use so my questions are:
why do I have to input python3 instead of python (with just python in command it tells me that robot is not found)
why chromedriver is not found, and how to set it up (in what PATH and how) to make it work
Is it possible to set jenkins up to use other drivers ex. geckodriver?
My jenkins job env looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo $JENKINS_HOME
which python3
echo $PATH
outputs:
/Users/MYUSER/.jenkins
/usr/bin/python3
/Users/MYUSER/.jenkins/tools/chromedriver:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
Ok so I've fixed it with:
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/:$PATH
this is the location where I have chromedriver locally.
in the build shell execute but is there a way to make it more permanent (I mean not to use it every time it runs build?)
I know this must be easy,
i have the following:
ls | % { file.exe $_.fullname }
What i want to do is just run the file.exe command on all files in the current folder.
Here is my problem: in powershell ISE console everything works out. The results from the file.exe (console program) are shown in the results pane for all files in the folder.
When i run the command in my shell though nothing is shown. All the results are redirected dont know where.
After that, whatever command i type in the shell i get no output.
Help!
Try opening PowerShell using PowerShell -NoProfile. Executing this command will open the shell igonring you profile script. This could be because of some conflicting setting in you profile script, if any.
I have a job that needs to run a script on a remote computer. I'm doing so by using psexec via "Execute windows batch command":
C:\PsExec.exe \\computername -u username -p password -accepteula c:\xxx.exe
When I run the job I get the following error:
c:\PsExec.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command
** PsExec.exe is located under c:\
Any ideas?
First Define psexec.exe path in environment varaiable "PATH" or else place psexec.exe file in C:\Windows\System32\
And to Download Psexec.exe file
https://download.sysinternals.com/files/PSTools.zip
One possible explanation is the version of PsExec.exe: 32bits or 64bits.
If you have the 32 one on a 64bits machine, that command would not be recognized indeed. PsExec64.exe would.
I can see the age of this question and my answer may not be relevant to this topic since I was technically trying to solve a different problem, but maybe this will help other people who are stuck.
c:\PsExec.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command
I was trying to disable the Maintenance Configurator with PSExec (my problem is the never ending maintenance bug) and kept running into the same error as the OP BUT I got PSexec64 to run this command:
C:\PsExec64.exe -s schtasks /change /tn >"\Microsoft\Windows\TaskScheduler\Maintenance Configurator" /DISABLE
BY checking the "Run this program as an administrator" option under the Compatibility settings for "PsExec64.exe"
Don't know if this has solved my problem yet, but I think the OP would have been able to run his process if he had done this. Dear OP did you ever solve that?
Under the link http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html#shellcommand,
in the shell command it states that
On Windows, commands are run via cmd.exe /c which works well. However, if you're running a batch file, the error level does not get propagated correctly unless you add 'call' before your batch file's name: cmd=['call', 'myfile.bat', ...].
It says that the commands are executed cmd.exe.
I assume the cmd.exe is located in the c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, am i right or it calls from some other location like in the windows startup .
The cmd.exe is the one found in the system path variable PATH for the Jenkins process. On my machine it is in C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe.
Not sure why when I execute a Python tools like pip or nosetests inside powershell, a separate popup command line windows will show, execute my command, then disappeared. This is annoying because I can hardly see the executable output, especially the last few lines before the popup close.
I assume there are some setting I can change to stop the popup?
I am using Powershell 2.0 in Windows 7.
Powershell is not cmd.exe, and it has a different console interface. More than likely, your py tools are writing to a non-existent shell window. You may be able to get around this by using the following syntax:
cmd /c script.py
What you do when you execute the python scripts directly from the PS prompt is fire-off a DOS shell for the period of time it takes for the command to complete. Since there's no 'pause' implemented, the shell window closes when the command completes.
A test script
# tester.py, just a test
print "This is a test script, that is all."
Output in PS:
C:\src\python
{powem} [36] --> .\tester.py
C:\src\python
{powem} [37] --> cmd /c .\tester.py
This is a test script, that is all.

For someone has similar problem, please have a look at this answer, I think this solution eventually solved my problem. and in my case, I have to restart my computer to get it all working.
